    My right arm and my left butt cheek are aching today because I threw a frisbee yesterday. My body is still in betrayal. I've been excellent about working out, though. The fitness journal that I'm keeping is really helping me stay on track. However, having an aching arm because I threw a plastic disk around is pathetic. I need to start doing some weight training. I've never done weights before. They intimidate me. We should be joining a gym mid-month and I think I'll sign up for some sessions with a trainer. I'm going to try and not think about it and just do it. If I think about it I won't do it. Don't think — just do. That would be an excellent Nike slogan.

    Last night ended fairly low-key. I made rice and a Lean Cuisine skillet meal of veggies, potatoes and chicken. It wasn't too bad. I really wanted to go see Blair Witch Project but T. is reticent about it. He's not a fan of scary movies at all. I may go see it at a matinee today. Someone told me that all the hand-held camera stuff made them sea-sick. Pamie said that she thought it would be scarier on video because that would play off of the documentary effect. Maybe I'll just wait. I can't decide.

    We rented and watched Rushmore last night. I thought it was really funny in an off-kilter sort of way. I wasn't always sure why I was laughing. The movie was really built up in my mind, though, since so many people loved it. The thing is, I didn't see what there was to love about it. There's nothing that I could put my finger on that made it great. Bill Murray was creepily brilliant, though. I want more Bill — I'll need to watch it again.

    We managed to clean three rooms last night and vacuum up enough cat hair to form another cat. Tonight I have three goals: watch Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, go to the gym and pick up a few things in the Den. The Den has become our room of junk. This is where we've stashed everything that came with my parents that doesn't yet have a home. It's not going to be an easy task and may take me all week. The problem being that we have an apartment and limited space. We are going to soon be trying to fit another desk and computer in this room and I don't want to make it impossible.

    Must get off computer now and join the world of the living in front of the teevee and on the couch. I love being lazy.
